Wind Generator

Alejandro

Hello Guys,

I am working on a small project for high school kids that involves wind energy, I am basically looking for a generator, preferably DC and as small as possible, my goal is to generate at least 17V and between 1.5 and 2A.

Does anyone know where I can find something like this?


Thank you
Alejandro Moncada

Most any small wind turbine rated for 500 watts and above will probably put out that much power, or almost that much power in a stiff wind. (sarcastic rant against the over hyping of smaller wind turbines by those selling them, but sarcastic or not, it's the way things usually go with small wind turbines.
I had a small 750 watt turbine and on really windy days it could sometimes put out roughly what you're looking for, 1.5 to 2 amps @ 17 volts max.
